The socio-psychological impact of COVID-19 has affected the whole world. Bangladesh, one of the most dangerous places as stated by WHO, was first infected at the beginning of March 2020, later than other countries. Bangladesh is now one of the 20 most affected countries in the world, but the psychological effects for university students during the epidemic period are not researched. To address this gap, the present study attempts to discover the socio-psychological impact of COVID-19 on university students in Bangladesh. We conducted an online survey using a questionnaire with a simple random sampling technique and we received 474 responses. In this study, numerous psychological concerns were reported. The study is limited to university students, which may affect the generalizability of the research. Our findings suggest a need to build awareness of the mental health implications of the pandemic for university students.
新冠疫情的社会心理影响已波及全球。孟加拉国是世界卫生组织认定的最危险地区之一，于2020年3月初首次出现感染病例，比其他国家晚。孟加拉国如今是全球受影响最严重的20个国家之一，但疫情期间大学生所受心理影响尚未得到研究。为填补这一空白，本研究试图探究新冠疫情对孟加拉国大学生的社会心理影响。我们采用简单随机抽样技术，通过问卷调查开展了一项在线调查，共收到474份回复。本研究中，诸多心理问题被报告。该研究仅限于大学生，这可能会影响研究结果的普遍性。我们的研究结果表明，有必要提高人们对疫情对大学生心理健康影响的认识。
